Much of this has been discussed in some other threads, some of which are in the part of the forum accessible only by site contributors. So here's a quick update for everyone.

We are moving TM and this forum to a new physical server and new domain name, travelmapping.net.

In the process, the mapping engine is changing from Google Maps to Leaflet in response to Google's new terms of use that would expose our project to potential unexpected billing.

There should be no real downtime for the main site. You can already access the new instance at travelmapping.net and you are encouraged to start using it now. The old/existing tm.teresco.org URLs will be redirected there soon.

When this forum migrates over, there will be a few more steps and there will likely be some downtime. I hope the old URLs will be able to remain functional, but that might not be possible.

If all goes well, I'm going to try the migration tonight (Mon 6/4). I think it should be mostly seamless but I expect some downtime for the forum while I put it into maintenance mode, take DB backup, move files over, restore the DB, and run one more script. Hopefully the old URLs will all redirect but I don't promise it will all be perfect.

I think I've got everything updated and transferred, so new and old URLs will point at the new server (at least once DNS changes finish propagating). Any tm.teresco.org URL should redirect to the corresponding travelmapping.net URL. Forum URLs should redirect to forum.travelmapping.net . I'm sure I've broken some things, so let me know when something looks broken.

If you really want to connect to the old server, you can at tmold.teresco.org for now. I'll leave it for a few days anyway.

I know It wasn't directly copied pixel-for-pixel; If I load up a page from tmold and a page from cmap side-by-side, the difference is easy to see.The "motorway-check" was my idea originally, and I'm fine with TM using it as well.
